First off, fantastic job on the new tool. I think it is great and have no great complaints about its implementation. FWIW, I would mildly desire integer-only aspect ratios and I would greatly desire having the make square and expand from center options be available as key modifiers. One

First thanks for the new tool - it is growing on me. I love the highlight and the 3rds guides. I resisted using it until 2.3.10 but have used it for about 100 images now. The rect. select is the one tool I use on every image. Not sure if you want a bug report (another bug report?) on the aspect

We are working toward cleaning up for a 2.4 release, and one of the things that needs to be cleaned up is the new tools, including the ones based on GimpRectangleTool, that is, the new rectangle select, ellipse select, and crop tools. In order to fix problems, we need bug reports that describe
